Interesting name you have, but come 2009 I look forward to this country remaining an American nation

Didn't have room for a picture of McCains friend Charles Keating huh? How about Hillary's friend Norman Hsu? no room for his picture either? Every one of them can be connected to crooks, Now what?

Thanks! Now in terms of the Ayers situation, he was subject to the justice system and due to police misconduct he was released by a judge. He went on to become a positive member of society.

Now, if the system is what we are trying to preserve then we should all respect the results of the system or change it.

And if you won't forgive Bill Ayers his past then why should we forgive G. Gordon Liddy?

I have a passionate dislike for terrorist, both foreign and domestic...but especially domestic. Keating and Hsu were greedy individuals that broke laws in order to further their agenda. William Ayers is a admitted terrorist that used bombing campaigns to further his cause. That is a big difference in my book.

As you know, Hsu contributed money to the Clintons. He was a fund raiser, involved in some shady deals. "There is nothing illegal about one politician steering wealthy contributors to another, but the New York senator's close ties to Hsu have become an embarrassment for her and her campaign." Disgraced Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu raised big money for Hillary Clinton supporters

Hsu Also donated money to Obama. "A spokesman for Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat who is a rival of Mrs. Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination, said Mr. Obama intended to give away $7,000 that Mr. Hsu contributed to his committees." Obama to Donate Funds From Norman Hsu

As far as Keating, McCain was accused of improperly aiding Keating during the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association scandal. Yes, McCain got off easy.

Your question was why their pictures are not next to Ayers? Well, unfortunately they could not be contacted for the photo op. I know I went off topic, but you asked.


Sorry for the detour, Obamanation! Welcome again.

I don't know who I am voting for. I doubt it would be McCain.

Welcome onboard. I'm considering voting for Obama. It will be my second time in 2 years. I used to live in Illinois. I even have a yard sign. Might be worth money some day. Huh?

See you out on the threads.

Thanks! Obama is the MACK DADDY!

Nah he is no Bush. But he isn't the straight shooter he makes out either. But I have had to agree with McCain more then once.

I am confident that you and I will have much to discuss regarding Obama, but my son wants me to read him a book now, and it's way past his bedtime. Let's put this discussion "on ice" for the time being.
